In this webinar, Jennifer de Graaf will present on designing and maintaining native plant gardens. Jennifer will use a number of CA native plants such as Bouteloua gracilis 'Blond ambition', Yarrow, Salvia x. clevelandii, Quercus agrifolia, Carex tumulicola, and Blechnum spicant, etc. to demonstrate important workflow considerations to design native plant gardens and to reduce hazards in the event of a wildfire. This critical thinking method can be applied to a variety of garden settings.
